Re: Mail 2.1.3 Yahoo Mail
I have been having the same problem lately. I just keep re-entering the password and one can access through a web browser. It may be an issue with Mail 2.1.3 - Tiger? Also, be sure and DO NOT RESPOND to the spam please verify your account e-mails that seem to stalk Yahoo. SPAM is getting smarter, I guess. AOL Mail used to intercept just about everything, but more and more spam is getting through these days. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

That's totally completely massively unacceptable from a for-$$$ service provider. Get thyself away from them ASAP. Seriously, considering dropping Yahoo, except I've had the address for so long and it's associated with can't-remember-how-many accounts. Yea. I know how that goes. What a PITA. I've got several GMail accounts, a Yahoo account, and a few elsewhere. When my original provider, Netaddress -- the ubercool @usa.net domain - went pay, I thought ... ok, it was cheap. But then the next year they went PAY! wtf! From $12 to $50/yr! So I went to Yahoo. About the time I got things migrated, Yahoo went pop-for-pay! g. Before that changeover they were rock solid. After, outages and other problems galore! That's when I switched to GMail. Kept the Yahoo account as webmail. Took me about two years to migrate fully. I spend hours trying many different configs. I'm finding two different sets of settings being recommended in Yahoo's help system. How nice. This page seems to be the latest, and was updated YESTERDAY (June 23)! http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html It says to use pop.mail.yahoo.com, SSL and port 995. smtp.mail.yahoo.com, SSL, port 465, auth. But then other (older) pages say to use servers such as plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (same ssl and port settings) Finally, for now anyway, I'm having Yahoo mail forwarded to my other email address. Good. And when you reply, it should have the better address on the outgoing messages. Start telling people to use it instead... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

No way of knowing what's different. One of the main reasons I've kept the Yahoo acct was ease of web mail for the rare traveling. But, I think I'll now begin migrating elsewhere.
